The European Commission announced that the EU Data Act has entered into force, establishing new rules for data generated by connected devices. Under the Act, manufacturers are required to enable data sharing, while users receive enhanced rights to access device-generated data. The legislation also facilitates the switching of cloud service providers. To support implementation, the Commission will set up a dedicated legal helpdesk and issue guidance that includes model terms for data-sharing contracts, along with clarifications on trade secret protections. Additionally, a broader Data Union Strategy is planned to streamline and enhance the EU's data framework.
